Selma Blair fights on despite latest MS setback

Actress Selma Blair has come out fighting, saying that she won’t let multiple sclerosis get in her way.

The Cruel Intentions star took to Instagram on Thursday with what E! News reported was a “throwback” photo of herself and her horse. In the post, the 47-year-old detailed her desire to be able to ride once more.

In an Instagram post, she opened up to her fans and followers about the ups and downs she’s experienced in her battle with the often-degenerative autoimmune disease.

She also shared that, no matter what, she’ll reach her ultimate goal: to get back in the saddle again.

“After I gave birth and felt half dead all the time, after the rage and the tears, after my heart exploded with caring and understanding, before any diagnosis, I searched for this horse,” Blair, 47, shared on Instagram.

“I knew the only place I was really growing with self love was at @cellardoorequestrian. My trainer found me #skytop. He needed to be able to handle kisses. Prerequisite. Truly. And he did. #mrnibbles. We only had a short time before I couldn’t even get to him or stay on. But he has come so far. And even though I may seem like I have gone farther away, I am learning and getting healthier. Even as I get seemingly sicker. I will jump this horse around again.”

“This is so inspirational,” one person commented in response.

It’s been nine months since Selma Blair revealed she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and since then the Hollywood star has been quite open about the ups and downs she has had with the disease.

She hopes to use her diagnosis to help others. Earlier this year she also reviewed that she was thinking about creating a fashion line for disabled people.
